We are a leading, independent family run estate agent with a modern approach to selling property. Proudly recognised as the number one selling agent in Lancashire, we credit our continued success to our impeccable personalised service, professional expertise, and genuine for property.
As our current Administration Manager steps away on maternity leave, we are looking to recruit a highly capable and motivated Administration Manager to join our team on a fixed-term basis (minimum 18-months) at our Head Office in Chorley. This position is initially offered as a fixed-term contract, with the potential to become permanent for the right candidate. This is a key role in our business and presents an exciting opportunity for an experienced Admin Manager or Senior Administrator ready to take the next step in their career within a thriving, supportive company.
As Administration Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day operations of our administration and onboarding teams, ensuring the smooth, efficient running of our Head Office. You’ll be responsible for leading and supporting the admin function, driving operational improvements, and working closely with senior leadership to implement new procedures and strategies.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role that demands strong organisational and leadership skills, a proactive mindset, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with confidence. It’s ideally suited to someone who thrives on variety, embraces responsibility, and is eager for a challenge. While estate agency experience is an advantage, it’s not essential. We’re looking for a proven and capable administrator who can lead a team, juggle diverse tasks, meet deadlines, and bring the right attitude and initiative to a senior-level position.
